40 Million to 1

What does this title say to you?  Anything?  If your answer was nothing then that is OK and I expected that.  40 million to 1 is the statistic that you will be born.  YOU yourself being born...  40 million to 1...  Just let that sink in for a second.  Now take a look at where you are and how you feel, do you feel like you are something special?  If not then just look at that number again.  You are unique and you are special.  You made it, you made it to the point where you were born.  As you took your first breath you were already a winner.  You won the race to get here, now what have you done with it so far?  If you are looking around and thinking to yourself that you are not worth that odd then please hear me when I say that you are.  You are worth more than 40 million to 1, you are worth more than you could ever imagine.  I know that things may seem as if they are coming against you and you feel less than what you are but please hear me when I say 40 million to 1 is a miracle.  You are a miracle for just even being here!  Make the most of what you have in this world.  I know that we far too many times see people who appear to have everything that we want, but we cannot limit ourselves just based off of what we see.  We have to push forward with what we have and make everyday better than the last.  That should be our goals as a whole, to make tomorrow brighter than today.  Even if you give someone a smile as they are walking by you, you never know what impacts that smile can have on their life.  They could be at their lowest point in life and something as simple as a smile could save them.  You may never know what impact you have on those around you, but believe me when I say that you are a life changer and you have what it takes to be what you set out o be in this life.  I am proud of you for coming this far with where you are at.  Stand tall in the face of depression and anxiety, show those demons that they cannot win today or any day for that matter.  You made it through your first test of 40 million to 1, now you can face anything that you come against, because you have already beaten impossible odds to get here.  I believe in you, I am proud of you, I applaud you for where you are going.  I am thankful that you have not given up.  Take each day as it comes and push as hard as you can to be a better version of yourself.

From the Outside

Have you ever heard the phrase: "from the outside everything may look fine", or some other variation.  Many times I feel that people only see what they want to on the outside and not get to know the person you really are.  I know that times I really feel judged and like an outsider but once you get to know me your opinion may change.  However in today's society it is much easier to keep to yourself and not be put in situations where people may get to know you.  A lot of times when I am around certain groups of people, I immediately feel like I am being judged as the weird person or the quiet one.  Many times I have been told that I am too quite and for me that is a defense that I set up for myself.  I often times struggle with small talk and will just end up saying something really awkward...  It happens for often than not, even with people that I know.  Lord knows I hate it when that happens, I tend to think about it the rest of the day and kick...

Be A Man

Many times I wonder what I can write about that would be uplifting to someone who battles the same things that I do.  A lot of times I want to repeat what I have already written and it is tough coming up with something new to say.  I feel like a lot of times we always hear "oh be a man" or "You'll be fine".  But a lot of times it is tougher than expected to do what others give you advice about.  I find that mental health in individuals who has anxiety and depression is important to me and I don't want you to just "be a man" or "you'll be ok", I truly want you to be ok with who you are and what this journey has taught you.  I was recently trying to explain what anxiety was to me and I found it tough.  I found it tough to express what exactly it is that I feel on a given day.  It was a struggle to explain the emotions that I feel when I have entered into a public place or am put into a situation where I know that I have to face my demo...

Believing is Seeing

"I'll give you everything that I've got left, follow you down and give you my last breath".  ~ Gideon. Many times I struggle with self worth and thinking that I am not up to anyone's standards.  Recently an opportunity has presented itself to me and I can't seem to get out of my own way.  I feel as if I am not good enough to do this new challenge, I feel like I can't live up to the expectation that has been set forth.  I seem myself as less than everyone and that is a serious struggle for me and really is the cause of most of my depression and anxieties.  I often times when in a group setting, think that people are looking at me like I am weird or something to that effect.  I feel as if people see me in a different light than who I truly am.  Once you get to know me, I promise it is worth your time :).  I am an introvert who doesn't like crowds or speaking to new people, but lately I have been trying to push past those barriers.  I recentl...
